Great trip, it made me feel very appreciated what we have today. They lived underground for over 20 years, and I cannot imagine how they could do it. So admire their resilience and bravery! I am thankful to Og Saigon chefD host for informative and understandable experience!

Great experience
We booked a private Cu Chi Tunnels trip with OG Saigon after having a great experience with their airport pickup, and it was definitely a good decision. The trip was really enjoyable from start to finish. Everything was easy and well organized, but still felt relaxed and not rushed. Our lead host Duy was friendly, knowledgeable and explained the history in a way that was easy to understand. We also had plenty of time to explore and ask questions.Our whole family had a great time, and having a private tour made the experience even better. Really happy we booked with OG Saigon and would definitely recommend them to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City.

5/5 – Duy made our day in Saigon properly fun
We’re a couple in our mid-50s and booked a private custom day with Duy from OG Saigon, city highlights plus Cu Chi Tunnels. Best decision of the trip.
Duy was easy-going, sharp, and never once treated us like we needed “special slow mode.” He just kept the pace comfortable, explained things clearly, and threw in enough dry humour that we actually laughed more than we expected. The tunnels felt interesting instead of exhausting, and the city bits were well-chosen without the usual tourist circus.
Small but important things: good coffee when we needed it, cold water always available, and a really nice lunch that wasn’t the standard tourist tray. Felt looked after without being fussed over.
If you want a local guide who doesn’t do the hard-sell or the script, book with Duy via ogsaigon. We’ll be recommending him to every slightly-past-peak friend who asks.

Exceeded Expectations.
We specifically looked for a small group tour with a local guide, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better than Huy, a 4th generation Saigonese. He is a lovely, articulate young man with perfect English, who is immensely proud of his family's roots in Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City. His thirst for knowledge goes both ways—we loved sharing stories about life in Australia while learning so much about Vietnam during our drives. Huy’s enthusiasm for sharing, passion for historical knowledge, and warmth made this tour unforgettable. The day was topped off by purchasing a beautiful piece of work from the Art Community - Victims of Agent Orange, who were truly inspirational. We ❤️ Saigon.

Let do it once in lifetime
Wow, what an experience!
I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the Cu Chi Tunnels, but it turned out to be much more interesting than I imagined. The site is huge and there is so much to see, from the hidden entrances and underground rooms to the different traps used during the war.
Our local “storyteller” Duy aka chefD was excellent and really brought the history to life. I especially enjoyed hearing the stories from a Vietnamese perspective rather than just getting dates and facts.
We tried going through one of the tunnel sections, and let’s just say… I have a lot more respect for anyone who actually lived down there! 😂 It was incredibly hot, dark and narrow, and crawling through some parts was definitely a workout.
The whole visit was fascinating, sometimes shocking, and definitely something I’ll remember from my trip to Vietnam.
Highly recommended!
